NASTY WING SMASH! | My Step by Step Repair Method

Hi everyone, this is quite possibly the most in depth video I have ever created and posted on KZbin. It shows all the stages of the repair that I had to take to make this front wing/fender look brand new again. It gives you an insight to my method of how I approach a job like this.

My hat is off to you sir. Finally someone coming out with an outstanding video in PDR it's like a school for free. You are an amazing individual and extremely detailed. I've seen hundreds of videos nothing compares to this one. I wish you the best success in your business because you're helping me with mine thank you so much sir

[@carlitos2ba]

I¨m a dent tech myself and I was surprised at your generosity in sharing what to many is a well hidden secret. It shouldn¨t be on that we agree because at the end of the day it all goes down to personal skils and being professional and not only knowing the tecnichal details about the use of light or having a fancy set of tools. It´s a very interesting approach to me because I go the other way round, that is first thing tap down the crown. I´ll try your way and let you know the results. Not everyone is prepared to explain what they do in detail and it´s the explanation what´s convincing. Best regards from Argentina.

[@1st_track_dents]

Thank you for your kind words. Not every crown needs tapping down first, every dent is different, there is no harm in experimenting as we learn by our mistakes and that is how we improve. I could have tapped the crown down first but I believe it would have made no difference at all on this dent, there are no hard and fast rules, just guidance and other peoples opinions. All the best to you:-)

[@1st_track_dents]

Thanks MINT, it's not easy filming these repairs as lots of things out of your control always happen! But I think I have perfected a technique of filming them which doesn't take as long as it used to. I enjoy the editing side, even though it takes me late into the night/early morning! Thanks for your time, I really appreciate your comment :-)

[@aphroditeroberts1964]

I have been following paintless dent removal on youtube now for about four months. You are by far one of the best on youtube. It is everything about how you approach sharing your knowledge and expertise. The why and the how and the correct tool to use. Thank you so much, I have much to learn , but with videos like yours interested persons can gain knowledge and perspective so much faster. The dent you removed in this video is the very dent i have on my car. I will remove it myself and I in time will feel the confidence to take it on and repair it to perfection. Thank you so much, and good luck.

It's great to watch the magic of a professional do paintless dent repair. I am trained in the old school body shop type of repair but more and more find myself attracted to PDR. I have been somewhat successful using the standard body tools, wood blocks, and nylon hammers. I just started using glue tabs with more success and it looks like my next step is to acquire the bendable tools and the peening tools. Your videos are an excellent source of training and give great attention to detail. Thank you for the excellent instruction.

[@carmelpule6954]

Sir, may I congratulate you on your accurate analysis of the forces required to correct those dents. You have great knowledge and experience of the behavior of materials and you coax them to regain their original shape with such gentle touches. I love the manner in which you minimize the angle of the crown to a flatter one so that the vectors opposing you will be not directly against what forces you apply. Sir, you are a gentleman full of logic, excellent reasoning and such rational thinking where you look through every step before you leap. Once again, my heartiest congratulations. You do respect your customers and so that is the way to success, Wish you all the best. You are a good man.

[@paulmc9314]

one of the best videos iv seen anywhere, very very well described i like it. what kind of umbrella / holder do you use looks very good and not bank breaking like some out there lol. i assume this was to help you see the dent better?? just starting out and tried taking dent out my silver car, couldnt see anything with my fog till i put the car in the garage for shade. keep the videos coming jake really enjoyed that.

[@1st_track_dents]

Thanks Paul, the umbrella generally goes up more when the sun is out, more than when it is raining, although on this job it was raining quite a lot and was hammering down by the time I finished! I made the umbrella stand out of materials that used to be thrown in the skip at one of the companies i used to do a lot of work for, so didn't cost anything to make, just my time. The umbrella is just a fishing umbrella, could do with a more opaque one though as the sun still gets through a bit on those really sunny days!

[@paulmc9314]

@@1st_track_dents thanks would be great to see how you made it looks good especially for side panels just the right height, really sunny days are unusual so bout 5 days a year id imagine lol.

[@1st_track_dents]

@@paulmc9314 Yes seeing the sun is very rare here. I haven't actually finished making it, I mocked up quickly to test it and have been using it ever since. Will definitely do a video on it at some point.

[@1st_track_dents]

@@frogmanvc Thank you, great to see you're still in the PDR business. The umbrella is great, although I have had a few rubbish ones that blow inside out and break in no time at all. This umbrella is the strongest and best one I have bought thus far. The stand I have built is very strong so the wind has no effect on it when my tool box is sitting on it. The only drawback is that it doesn't cover you if you are working on the middle of a roof, bonnet or bootlid. That's where a canopy is best, however, I like to have a small vehicle and with a canopy you really need to be driving a van, and if you don't dry them properly they can start to go mouldy and smell really bad.

[@ruthlessrestorations7659]

This video was so satisfying to watch but most PDR guys just dont have the balls to even try and do this repair and i live in California and the PDR guys down here are just as expensive as the body shops and with the true sun light your going to see all those little taps in the finish remove and replace and blend it the car is to new for touch up paint my opinion still a fantastic job tho 👋👍
